Brick line

Sep 27, 2005 3 Replies

Hi all;



Whats the longest line one can use to lay a course of bricks too?


25 Feet just does not give a flat line, even with a line nearly ripping the mortar out.

I have a 38 foot run of wall with a double brick Tee at 30 ft.



Regards Ian



I've found it helps to use a strong rubber band at one end of the line - keeps the line under constant tension. Used it over 6 metres.

Idiot! Run it half way and build the centre of the wall up at the same time as you build the corners, then just rest the line in the middle on a nail while you do the infill.

What could be easier?

Putting a brick and a packer under it as you do each course perhaps?
